            Let us talk about my anxiety attacks during menopause. These attacks were mostly at nights, except for two, the very public one at the hair salon and one on the train on my way home.        I have been riding the DC metro without incidents for years. Except this day while on the train suddenly the darkness of the tunnels bothered me so much that I wanted off the train immediately. I started praying which is what I did at home during attacks.      Anxiety attacks come on without notice, no time to prepare for the nervous chaos that is about to take over your life to disrupt your sleep and schedule.

  Greetings ladies,      I picked up Kristin Johnson & Maria Claps book “The Great Menopause Myth” at the library. The book has a wealth of information, statistics, history, science, myths, and helpful suggestions on how to manage our symptoms, keep our sanity and remain healthy from natural menopause to postmenopausal. 😊      “ DID YOU KNOW THAT ONLY 54 PERCENT of women can correctly define menopause? Why and how can a topic so quintessentially female not even be understood by the very group for whom it is solely reserved? The answer lies in the many myths around menopause” (Johnson et al.). 😞                                                 Click the link below to meet t he authors on Dr. Louise Newson podcast   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNxgynCP1Xk Works Cited.
